Pancake Tuesday is one of my favourite days. In Ireland, Christian traditions dominate the popular culture, so pancake Tuesday is everywhere you look. In our house pancakes means crepes, not the thicken and equally delicious American style pancakes. So every year my Mum prepared a giant vat of batter in the afternoon, and let it rest on the counter, tempting us with thoughts of the upcoming feast. The hardest part was eating the normal dinner (always fish) before we could make the sweet pancakes. Well I don't repeat that torture in my home, for main meal we eat galettes!

When I started writing this blog I used to work shifts, often overnight. Shift work is incredibly draining at times and there were many nights when I would reach my normal bedtime and know that I had a full grueling 8 hours ahead.

About Me

I'm an aspiring psychologist with a love for baking. I watch a lot of food network shows, but normal television shows also.
When I'm not working, studying or baking, or socializing, I'm in the gym or working out at home to zuzkalight. (Well,I have to do something to make up for all these cookies.) However even in the gym I have been known to be reading Good Food Magazine or watching Rachel Ray making something delicious. Simply put, food especially dessert is my favourite past time. And that's me in a nutshell!
